Everything Breaking

It seems like an inordinate number of household items have been broken since John lost his job, as well as a couple big items just wearing out.

Broken by Human Negligence:

• Lawn Mower (broken by an adult).
• Kitchen Aid mixer (that belonged to my grandmother) still functions, but is painful to use. (knocked off counter by a young human who does not know his strength.)
• Big Beautiful Glass Mixing Bowl that was a given to us as a wedding present, shattered in the sink when stacked sloppily on top of too many dishes to dry. Also by a young human.
• My bigger than 9 X 13 pyrex casserole dish that I etched our names in shattered on the floor when a small human walked across our island counter top. 
• Pretty much all of our mugs and any glass cups we had. Mostly broken by young humans.
• The Blinds in the living room, which those small humans have been working on destroying slowly over time can hardly be considered blinds anymore.
• The glass on the fireplace. grrrrr (will be replacing)
• My snow globe.

Broken from Wear and Tare

• The brakes and ball joints on the van. (replaced)
• The fuel pump on the minivan (so we sold it).
• Several Towels
• My washing Machine is slowly giving up. I can only wash about a half a loud of laundry in it right now.
• The Large Flat Grill that I cook pancakes and grilled cheese sandwiches and all sorts of things on now only has 2 legs.
• My stainless steal frying pan.
• My medium-sized stainless steal pot.
• My large skillet is starting to drop teflon in our food, but I use it almost every day still.
• 2 toilet seats wearing out. (replaced 1)
• Hair clippers (replaced)
• The heating unit in the dryer (replaced)
• The flash on the camera

I am sure there are more. But there it is. I have no idea how we are going to afford to replace so many items when we can. I think this is supposed to make me more grateful when something breaks and we have some means to replace it, right?
